Pretty Fly Taking a Ride

This fly was real­ly just along for the ride as today was an atyp­i­cal live-bait day orches­trat­ed by my friend Bran­don.

Nev­er­the­less, today’s first super hot day felt like a mid-July day with the stripers down deep on the bot­tom. No sur­face action to speak of but a keep­er fish was caught on the very first cast of the day in one of the usu­al spots! Bring it on, the sea­son begins…

The boat is com­ing along! Cross your fin­gers that we see the Gravy back in the water in the next week or so!!! That may be opti­mistic but as last summer’s post points out, it’s opti­mism (and some­times a poor mem­o­ry) that keeps fish­er­men com­ing back to repeat the same mis­takes.

June promis­es to be a great month for striper fish­ing so keep tying those flies and get ready to check out the Gravy’s new ride!
